Antibacterial microfilm dressing with silver-nanoparticles promotes healing of contaminated excisional wounds

摘要

Microfilm dressing with silver-nanoparticles present a unique substitute to topical antimicrobial formulations or silver-loaded wound-dressings, as it effectively reduces wound bioburden under primary dressings by providing long-term release of less than 1 μg/cm~2 of silver/day and expedites wound closure. Tests in porcine dermal wounds are underway.
